DeLinuxCo Service Bulletin:
With Cinnamon 6.6.7 and 6.6.8, there is an issue with Applets, Extensions and Desklets not being able to update. An error of
"ini() argument must be a string..."
There are two ways to fix, one is to download the spice from https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/
and place them accordingly in ~/.local/share/cinnamon/**
The second option is to edit the Spices.py file.
sudo nano /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/bin/Spices.py
Replacing line 423, from:
totalSize = int(response.headers.get('content-length'))
to:
# totalSize = int(response.headers.get('content-length'))
content_length = response.headers.get('content-length')
totalSize = int(content_length) if content_length is not None else -1
